House of Grace

House of Grace is just one of many Global Servants outreaches. It is located in the mountains of northern Thailand. House of Grace was founded by Global Servants in 1987 to protect and care for tribal girls that are at risk of being sold into prostitution in Bangkok.

House of Grace has been called “the finest children’s home in Thailand.” It has grown to be a first rate facility that houses and tenderly raises Akha girls in a loving Christian atmosphere. House of Grace now owns two large pieces of property with eight current buildings. One recently renovated building contains classrooms, computer lab, sewing room, study room and guest bedroom.

Global Servants is also moving forward on building a new dormitory with the capacity to hold up to 60 more girls. House of Grace now has eight full time staff. Jutiporn Muelae is the national home-director for Global Servants, House of Grace. Emily Leatherbarrow serves as the International Coordinator of Thai Operations, House of Grace.

Frequently Asked Questions

“What exactly are you doing at House of Grace?”
In most cases we are doing a preventative work; trying to get the girls to safety at House of Grace before they are sold into prostitution. We have very few girls that have actually been previously trapped in that lifestyle, because it is so hard to get them out once they have been taken. Therefore, our main focus is to keep this horror from becoming a reality for any more little girls.

“How do the girls get to House of Grace?”
It becomes common knowledge in a village that a father or stepfather is going to sell his daughter. Often there is a kind person in the girl’s life that will try to keep this from happening. Many times a grandmother, aunt, older sister or a good neighbor will bring a young girl to House of Grace to protect her.

“How many girls do you have?”
We currently have 100 girls ranging in age from 4 to 23. They stay at House of Grace until they can make a safe living for themselves. We will educate them as far as they can go. We presently have many girls attending community college, vocational programs, teachers programs and local Universities. They must be self-reliant, educated, women of God in order to survive.

About Sponsorship:
For $60.00 a month you can make the difference in one of these young lives. As a sponsor your monthly check provides for her clothing, school uniforms (which are compulsory in all Thai schools) school supplies, medical care, food, transportation, and housing. Currently every girl has her own sponsor. However, we always need to add to our sponsorship waiting list. You can also be involved as a “friend of House of Grace.” As a “friend” you can make a one time contribution or you may regularly give an amount of your choice. Both friends and sponsors receive the monthly update letter.
House of Grace is made possible by the sponsors and friends of the home.
